Trust / Methodology

Every surfaced lead should be reviewable.

Acren ranks commercial properties by recorded public-record evidence — including distress, ownership, entity, and debt records. It does not predict sale probability, estimate value, or infer anyone's intent. Every surfaced property shows why it appeared, what records support it, what confidence label applies, what is still unknown, and what diligence step should happen next.

Specifications

Five foundational specs. Public and versioned.

Each spec exists to keep a surfaced property inspectable before a team routes it to broker conversations, comps, lease research, expense review, underwriting, watchlist, outreach, or pass.

v1.0

Opportunity scoring

How Acren orders buy-box-eligible properties with deterministic factor points, evidence-quality degradation, disclosed presets, and reproducible tie breakers.

  • Persisted factor ledger
  • Four disclosed presets
  • Missing evidence gets zero points
  • No probability claims

v2.4

Responsible use

How Acren keeps public-record research separate from seller-intent prediction, consumer eligibility, investment advice, and unsupported claims.

  • No FCRA / consumer use
  • Public data only
  • Operator opt-out
  • Auditability commitments

GRAPH-BACKED · EVIDENCE-FIRST

Opportunities stay reviewable.

Relationships between properties, parcels, owners, entities, records, and sources are confidence-labeled and reviewable. A relationship can be source-backed, appears-connected, needs-review, rejected, internal-only, summarized, or withheld depending on the available evidence and display posture.

≥ 1

Sources per rendered claim. No exceptions.

62

Validators run on every entity update.

v3

Public, versioned, changelogged specifications.

Responsible boundary. Not for FCRA-regulated use. Acren organizes commercial-property and business-entity records and ranks research priority from recorded evidence. It does not predict intent, provide valuation or underwriting, or support consumer-eligibility decisions.
